  4. Today is the anniversary of the fall of #Singapore in 1942. A chap who had married a cousin of mine was captured there.
    He was still working on the #BurmaRailway when the final piece of line was laid and the railway was complete. He died the next day.
    Phyllis re-married after the war and I recently made contact with a descendant of hers. If Walter had not died Phyllis would not have re-married and we would not be cousins!
